Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Markdown-heavy notebooks that I am embedding have links within the notebooks themselves in Markdown of the form: [linkedText](#namedCell). Observable’s iFrame embedding "expands" all such relative href links and makes them absolute, prefixing https://observablehq.com/@ etc. to #namedCell. Thus – this is the undesirable behavior – they are no longer document-internal.
The behavior of entire-notebook downloading or embedding with Runtime with JavaScript is different. This non-consistency is also, I think, undesirable.
Describe the solution you'd like
An option when iFrame embedding for entire notebooks to retain all relative links as such, including relative links to notebooks owned by the same account, Markdown form: [linkedText](notebookName) (no hash character).
Allow conventional internal links, Markdown coded like this: from:[linkText](#andTarget)to:<a id="aname"> to work within Observable when, currently, they do not.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Because the facility to Markdown code: [linkedText](#namedCell) is so sweet, I am currently experiment with coding internal links both ways so that internal links (may?) work in both contexts: 1) in Observable and 2) when Runtime with Javascript embedded. (I can't, myself, do anything about iFrame embedding.)
